In this episode Sean and JJ tackle the fantasy football potential of the AFC South.
The Houston Texans are still dealing with the Deshaun Watson saga heading into the season. Tyrod Taylor and rookie Davis Mills will be vying for the starting quarterback spot if Watson doesn’t play. Wide receiver Brandin Cooks may regress without Deshaun. There are no other draftable WR’s and you’re avoiding tight end Jordan Akins. The Texans may have to lean on the running game, but the backfield is crowded with David Johnson, Philip Lindsay, and Mark Ingram.
The Indianapolis Colts are suddenly dealing with an injury to Carson Wentz, which opens the door for Jacob Eason. TY Hilton is still the leading wideout, but finished outside the top-40 of WR’s last year. Running back Jonathan Taylor looks to outperform his 6th overall finish from last year as a rookie, and Nyheim Hines is a fantastic flex draft as a receiving running back who finished in the top-20 last year. You should avoid drafting TE’s Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox due to their time share.
The highly touted rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be leading the Jacksonville Jaguars this year. Rookie running back Travis Etienne rejoins Lawrence from Clemson, but James Robinson is still the lead back after finishing 7th overall last year. Marvin Jones Jr joins the team as the number one wide receiver, and DJ Chark Jr looks to build rapport with Trevor as the number two. Tight end Tim Tebow, it was fun while it lasted, just got released by the Jags, which opens the door for Chris Manhertz to shine.
The Tennessee Titans are THE best team in the AFC South. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has proven to be an elite and reliable fantasy QB, finishing 9th overall last year. Running back Derrick Henry is a lock to be top-5 amongst RB’s. The Titans added wide receiver Julio Jones to the roster, who will have a great year as long as he avoids injury. AJ Brown looks to improve on his 14th overall finish from last year. TE Anthony Firkser is a fantasy sleeper this year with the departure of Jonnu Smith.
